Rescue Me Words & Music by Peter Hamm The end of the trail looms like Notre Dame Over the strong and the frail, and both I see I am. The end of the road, in the way like the heat. Touches the load, rises up from the street. Here in the night, brighter than sun The moon mocks my sight and stregnth all as one. The innocence that lies to the stars. The silence of age can't run very far. My eyes have been blocked up like trapped abandoned children In the blood of dirt and clay. The earth gives up her plight and calls to the sea, Come down here and rescue me. The intimate hold I have on love and hate, The loss of the soul, this hunger we create. Oh, the dead are all here to finally ask Who was the first, who is the last? The lonely and cold get on and believe But the earth is to old to need to deceive My eyes like the mountains see the hilltops but the valley Must wait till all is free. Of night that tears the smiles from the heartless, Come down here and rescue me. |
